Let them pick up those trinkets as long as "we" get the ring.

Someone at the game last night said the crowd was chanting "Swaggy D, Swaggy D". Who would have ever thought Swaggy and D would be in the same phrase ! One local announcer said that Nick, CP and Harden have played against each other for aprox 10 years (in LA?) so they know each others moves.

haha I feel like you are always implying I missed some stuff. Keep in mind my first take video is just that. Im not going into details. That is for here. correct on all accounts you are.

Athletic Alchemy

Great takes! The halftime is tough with the amount of time. Cant really organize my thoughts. probably just takes some practice. Your right tho, there is a reason is the baby face and thaht he has a lable ass not being the toughest. With every player its give and take. Greak call on Klay hesi of the pins.

Athletic Alchemy

AA hope the video gets figured out.. I watched the halftime u did after the game(I'd rather have pregame imo) but we are 1-0 when u do halftime so there's that.. and u fookin nailed it on SC.. I was yelling to myself just take him out.. very frustrating watching him play when it gets mental for him.. once he got those layups going it opened him up so much.. almost wish he could have a game like that where he doesn't showboat cuz it would scare the defense a lil more if he went straight focused assassin on him.. I'd rather see Ryan Reynolds than the samuel L assassin.. was glad kerr started the 4th with him.. I saw curry asked about the rotation when he got taken out at the end of the 3rd.. he needed to take harden a couple times to boost his confidence(which is crazy for the best shooter ever) but that's our steph.. he ain't called babyface for no reason.. sometimes he needs pampering.. I almost wish he was on a minutes restriction so he could come of the bench and let pogo(shaun) start.. dont have much to say on strats going into game 4.. just stay in front on defense make them make tough shots.. I loved Iggy and dray spreading the arms out superwide up top on cp3 and har_en.. you know that's gotta piss those 2 off knowing they cant grab those arms and draw their patented fouls.. maybe they can keep that pnr screen about 2 ft above the 3pt line to keep cp3 and Gordon from being able to pull up without an extra dribble.. on offense.. they didnt quite run ur dray and sc pnr but looney settin the pick early worked well too.. klay looked a lil hesitate on when to do a pin down screen vs flying out.. that caused curry and him to waste about 5min of game time at the beggining of the game.. kd.. I actually dont mind the deferral to curry to get him going.. but he does it in a way that's so obvious which gets annoying.. instead of having ball and force looking for curry he should be the screener.. so he can roll off.. which create more space for SC.. and Jordan bell and looney or looney and young.. wats the better combo for these last couple games in this serie

Anything we can do as Patreons to put some pressure on YT?

No its some tv site. They tried to copyright game 2 as well. They did this a couple last year only in the playoffs on a big view game. If they have filed several false claims I cant belive YT lets them block it.

Athletic Alchemy

I have filed a dispute. They tried to claim game 2 as well! Ridiculous my network cant protect me form this. WTF are they good for!

Athletic Alchemy

They seem to be an African news service. Did someone hack kwese tv's youtube account or as Envoy said above, the YT algorithm/filter made a mistake. Alc only used the open NBA content.

What in the world is kwese TV and why are they copyright claiming an Alch video?

Tyler

video is down

Hey Alc, what was that website with custom shirts ? Want to check it out and maybe they have one with the caption: "This is My F....ing House !"

blocked here in the USA and on youtube also. good thing I watched it last night.

Do they tell you what part is blocked and why so you can edit that part out?

Major Powers

blocked in Germany

YT content filtering fucks up again. A video I uploaded of my son playing piano (Mozart) was taken down... really, Google, some US company owns the copyright to some 200 year old music??

Yo, it won't allow me to watch the video in California though?

i’m in NY, and it says i can’t watch it 🤦🏽‍♂️

My play of the game goes to Looney's block. Rockets had just retaken the lead and instead of pushing it to 4 points, Looney triggers a 4-point swing ending with klay's great finish. Crowd got hyped and the dubs never ceded control after that moment. The Stoic One has had an incredible transformation, and I would give my left nut for us to keep him next year.

I have the same problem from the Netherlands. Only thing I can do is use a VPN in USA

Was wondering a similar thing, I can't seem to watch it neither here not on YT. The same msg of "This video contains content from Kwese TV, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds." I am from Croatia, was watching the game live and wanna see your take on it :)

Same in Denmark

Kevin Vestergaard

If it's really the bone on bone knee contact that hurts like an sob but doesn't usually do damage or create a lasting problem....i hope!

Steven Stanley

hey Alch, I in Australia and your video won't work for me. this is what comes up: "This video contains content from Kwese TV, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds." is there any other way i can watch?

Little concerned with Iggy’s knee contusion or whatever they will call it, especially with only 1 day of rest 👀 tbh I didn’t even notice until now that he got injured!

Kerr made several adjustments in this game that I think went unnoticed by some folks. His first adjustment didn't work out well - GSW started the game with Curry hedging on the PnR instead of us straight switching. HOU beat us repeatedly when we did this so Kerr called an early timeout and we went back to switching everything. Kerr also made Iguodala the primary defender on Harden, instead of KD. KD started on Harden in both G1 and G2. But Iguodala is the better defender against Harden and he made our switching on defense, especially with Curry, a lot better today and also made things more difficult for HOU when they were trying to force the matchups they wanted for Harden. Great move by Kerr. The 3rd adjustment was that Kerr decided to stagger Curry and KD. We have not seen this last postseason. So he'd take Curry out near the end of the 1Q and 3Q and have KD finish the quarter and then bring back Curry for the start of the 2Q and 4Q. I think this helped us maintain our scoring with the 2nd unit. It looks like West will not be playing in this series so the 2nd unit is definitely under-manned. We only have a 7 or 8 man rotation right now. But if you stagger Curry and KD, this ensures that at least one of Curry and KD is on the court at all time. Another smart move by Kerr.

It might take some time, and it did, but AA earlier in the season you were diagnosing Nick Young's defensive deficiencies and pointed out that those weaknesses were not so much about not being able to defend at the point of attack, on the ball, when challenged on the ball Nick is okay. You were very right about that. Nick has had problems all season related more to his poor abilities as a help defender, an effort defender and his defensive intuitions. In all 3 games Nick has defended well at the point of attack, he did it again last night. What I like against both Harden and CP is that they are physical attackers and Nick can absorb their shoulder bumps and off arm pushes and still be in front of them on balance, unlike Steph who gets pushed to the floor, it doesn't hurt that Nick has so much junk in the trunk either. I suspect Nick might be a one year player for the Warriors but right now, with 2 more games to get from the Rockets, I'm glad he's with us. Despite his foibles, Nick deserves some Dub fans love.

Steven Stanley

Curry for 30 all in the second half only time he was a liability was...in the first 5-7 minutes of the game They gotta stop picking the MVP before the playoffs are up It's a joke KD or Lebron are gonna watch Harden pick up that hardware

Stevie Ray

It drives me crazy! 😱 if I was around that team somehow... I would be on him everyday! Everyday!

Athletic Alchemy

Haha agreed! Only it game 4 that is the crucial one. 5 will be tough! But how sweet would it be to take them out here on their floor!

Athletic Alchemy

I love Ig but it has become a persistent theme of these playoffs that he is not taking his shots. We've seen it some from Draymond too, when he tries to set a lob or make a fancy pass. I want 2015 Finals MVP Ig back!

I agree...game 5 is a MUST win. We must be greedy and hungry. We must smell blood like sharks in the open waters. Let's knock out this Rockettes team with well-timed jab jab cross cross upper cut roundhouse kick to the head. After we do the suplex pile driver on their heads, we should pound their head against the mat and step on their gagging throats as they choke on their on blood so they don't even think to go against us in game 5. 😳😳 Sorry....I don't like this rockets team.

Thats one you don't forget! dope

Athletic Alchemy

Was there tonight and the crowd did not let up. It was like watching an Ancient Rome gladiator massacre. You know it’s bad when the crowd is upset by a miss cause it would just been so SWEET to get the bucket but it don’t even matter. The energy was outta control.
